Looks like John & Emily may have been together before the marriage if this is them - Newent Gloucestershire - but his birth place given as Bromsgrove, Worcestershire??

1901 Census

John Phillips Head England and Wales Census, 1901 1853 Bromsgrove, Worcestershire Taynton, Gloucestershire, England
Emily A Phillips Wife England and Wales Census, 1901 1857 Newent, Gloucestershire Taynton, Gloucestershire, England

Altho.... there is a John on the 1871 Census born Bromsgrove whose parents were Benjamin & Elizabeth???

Sorry don't think they are your couple......
